Billions Alone - Creepy body horror at its finest.

The Human Chair by Edogawa Ranpo - Very unsettling story. Loved it!

An Unearthly Love by Edogawa Ranpo - Dolls, always creepy…

Venus in the Blind Spot - Such a great story about obsession.

The Licking Woman - Um. Gross. Even for me.

Master Umezz and Me - Weirdly out of place story full of real emotion.

How Love Came to Professor Kirida - Strange story, but somehow I liked it.

The Enigma of Amigara Fault - Extra extra creepy story. I especially loved the the ending image. Horrifying!
